“Recognising and spreading sophisticated pedagogical practice across our community so that students learn in better and more powerful ways...”
My professional inquiry is about "language in abundance", using subject-specific literacy strategies and constructivist teaching and learning explicitly through context to inform my teaching practice so that there is a shift in academic achievement of Maori Learners to meet our 2018 school target of 80% achieving NCEA L1 Numeracy.

Data

"90% of data ever created was created in the last 2 years"? (Science Daily, 22 May 2013)

What are we doing with all the rich data that confronts us almost on a daily basis? Well, most of us like to create tables and graphs and play around with fonts, colours and backgrounds and if we bump into a colleague or two who seem a tad bit interested, we enthusiastically share our analyses and wonderings. In fact, we become so obsessed with data that we even do an Inquiry about it. I am guilty of over-analysing data and sharing with EVERYONE except my learners, so my commitment is to:- share data with my learners so that their learning can be supported- personalise progress so that learners and their whanau can easily access and track- use data to inform my practice.
